Dim Sum Brunch and Curry Prawn dumplings

Every gathering revolves around food, just like all festive occasions or any meet ups with friends.
The same goes for my hubby and his friends, whenever they wanted to meet up or catch up with each other, they will go for either breakfast or lunch or dinner, or sometimes, two meals in one; like brunch.

During this year's Chinese New Year, we met up with the gang for brunch at one of the dim sum restaurants in town; which was located next to the Red Rock Hotel on Macalister Road.
Everyone takes turn in proposing a place for each meet up and this round, this was recommended by one of the friends who loves food.
Guys are simple, and unlike ladies, they go straight to filling their stomachs first and slowly catching up over cups of tea and in between food.
The rest of the conversation? Definitely after devouring all the food!

This is quite unique, in my opinion. In fact, it tasted a little like the taste of Otak-otak

Food was not bad in this restaurant which had recently had a change in ownership and the prices were quite reasonable too.

Good food and great company, what better way to enjoy a Sunday morning?
